UNSPSC 85551478: Repair right iris, percutaneous approach

This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 08QC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85551478 Repair right iris, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities posted to state and local procurement platforms under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care and urgent care services, mental health peer support services, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve ophthalmologic surgery, iris repair, or percutaneous procedures. The code appears to be a misapplication of medical procedure taxonomy to general healthcare services contracting, and state and local governments are not soliciting for ophthalmic surgical repair work under this classification.

The recent opportunities issued by Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California) reflect administrative and clinical healthcare delivery services, not surgical intervention. Bidders evaluating this code should not expect to find relevant work in state and local procurement pipelines and should verify categorization with issuing bodies before responding to any future solicitation tagged with this code.
